GENERAL

WHERE A TOTAL LIMITATION OF LIABILITY IS NOT PERMITTED, USERS AGREE THAT UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL GO OVERSEAS BE LIABLE TO ANY USERS FOR AN AMOUNT GREATER THAN $100, AS A RESULT OF ANY DISPUTE OR CLAIM LODGED BY USERS REGARDING THIS CONTEST.

Users acknowledge and agree that the warranty disclaimers and liability and remedy limitations in this Agreement are material terms and that they have been taken into account in the decision by Sponsor to offer the Contest. All User’s rights, obligations and responsibilities are strictly personal to the User and may not be assigned under any circumstances.

ARBITRATION

For any disputes a User may have with Go Overseas, the User agrees to notify us of such dispute and attempt to resolve such dispute informally. If such informal resolution fails, any claim, dispute, or controversy arising out of or relating in any way to: i) this Agreement or the Privacy Policy; ii) your use of our Platform; iii) your information or content stored on our Platform; or vi) any benefits derived from using our Platform; no matter how described, pleaded or styled, shall be FINALLY and EXCLUSIVELY resolved by binding individual arbitration conducted by the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) under its Consumer Arbitration Rules using one (1) arbitrator.

Each party is solely responsible for any filing fees to commence arbitration and any costs to attend the arbitration hearing that shall take place in Alameda County, CA.

ARBITRATION OF YOUR CLAIM IS MANDATORY AND BINDING. NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO LITIGATE THAT CLAIM THROUGH A COURT. IN ARBITRATION, NEITHER PARTY WILL HAVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL OR TO ENGAGE IN DISCOVERY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED FOR IN THE AAA CODE OF PROCEDURE.

All determinations as to the scope, interpretation, enforceability and validity of this Agreement shall be made final exclusively by the arbitrator, which award shall be binding and final. Judgment on the arbitration award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

NO CLASS ACTION, OR OTHER REPRESENTATIVE ACTION OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION OR JOINDER OR CONSOLIDATION OF ANY CLAIM WITH A CLAIM OF ANOTHER PERSON OR CLASS OF CLAIMANTS SHALL BE ALLOWABLE.

This arbitration provision shall survive the discontinuation, cancellation or suspension of use of our Platform and the Contest. If any portion of this arbitration provision is deemed invalid or unenforceable, the remaining portions shall remain in force.

FORUM OF DISPUTE

Any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement not covered by the Arbitration clause will be heard solely by a court of competent jurisdiction in or nearest to Alameda County, CA. Additionally, you agree that (a) these disputes, claims and causes of action shall be resolved individually, without resort to any form of class action, and exclusively by the appropriate court located in California; (b) any and all claims, judgments and awards shall be limited to actual out-of-pocket costs incurred, including but not limited to costs associated with entering this Contest and the maximum allowed by this Agreement but in no event attorneys' fees; and (c) to the extent allowed by applicable law, under no circumstances will Users be permitted to obtain awards for, and users hereby waive, all rights to claim, punitive, incidental and/or consequential damages and/or any other damages, other than out-of-pocket expenses, and any and all rights to have damages multiplied or otherwise increased. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE LIMITATIONS OR EXCLUSION OF LIABILITY FOR INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. All issues and questions concerning the construction, validity, interpretation and enforceability of this Agreement, Users' rights and obligations, or the rights and obligations of the Sponsor in connection with the Contest, shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of California, without giving effect to any choice of law or conflict of law (whether of California or any other jurisdiction), which would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than California.

You agree that the unsuccessful party in any dispute arising from or relating to this Agreement will be responsible for the reimbursement of the successful party’s reasonable attorneys’ fees, court costs, and disbursements.

INDEMNITY

User agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Sponsor, the Affiliated Companies, its officers, directors, employees and agents, from and against any and all claims, damages, obligations, losses, liabilities, costs or debt, and expenses (including but not limited to attorney's fees) arising from User’s participation in the Contest and User’s access to the Platform or use of any Prizes awarded.

SEVERABILITY

In the event that a provision of the Agreement is found to be unlawful, conflicting with another provision of the Agreement, or otherwise unenforceable, the Agreement will remain in force as though it had been entered into without that unenforceable provision being included in it.

If two or more provisions of the Agreement are deemed to conflict with each other’s operation, Sponsor shall have the sole right to elect which provision remains in force.

NON-WAIVER

We reserve all rights permitted to us under this Agreement as well as under the provisions of any applicable law. Our non-enforcement of any particular provision or provisions of the Agreement or any applicable law should not be construed as our waiver of the right to enforce that same provision under the same or different circumstances at any time in the future.
